ARA: Looking for someone to fix my computer

I have a computer that needs some help. I got a virus and I put off fixing it for awhile because I didn’t know how to and could still technically use it, but at this point, it just really needs to get fixed. Do you or your readers have anyone they can recommend? It’s a laptop that uses Vista, if that means anything. I’m not looking for advice on antivirus software, I do have that.

You have to give Rob at White Wolf Computers a call. He handles all of our office and home computer repairs and has done so for a few years now. He’s very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. And unlike a lot of tech people, he has great people skills and is very friendly. I believe the number is 459-wolf.

If you’re already using an anti-virus program, it must not be that great if you still got a virus…=X

Sorry if that’s mean. I had to say it. Sorry again. =X

My boyfriend is absolutely excellent at fixing computers and he charges $35 an hour. I doubt that fixing your problem would even take an hour. If you want me to put you in touch with him you can email me at soapscrubs@gmail.com.

@Reader – I hardly think it’s an insult, when you admit to having a virus and ignoring it despite having antivirus programs installed. You either have no idea how to use the programs, or they aren’t very good programs. It’s possible her boyfriend could tell you the GOOD ones to use, instead of leaving you open to further viruses.

Hey, just pointing out the obvious. I have an excellent anti-virus program and don’t have any viruses. Just sayin.’ =P I thought my offer of help and wishing you good luck with your problem would be enough to deter rudeness, but apparently not….

Megan, that comment isn’t true any anti virus you have isn’t fully protected. You can still get a virus no matter what, it all depends on what site you visit. Any computer expert would know no computer is fully protected.

I didn’t mean to be rude, reader. I just think that MAYBE you could CONSIDER a different antivirus program. It would be really frustrating if you paid someone to fix your computer only to get a virus again, right?
